Like a fire burnt out 'Cause I'm so burnt out Don't know who I am You go down so smooth For my soul you're the fruit Screaming out, "Goddamn!" I can't seem to get away from you I'm followed around Everything slowed down My mama said I should watch out for you Since the tenth grade when I started acting a fool And now I'm leaning on you Purple afternoon The sun goes down way too soon When I'm thinking of you And now I'm leaning on you Purple afternoon Why'd you have to leave so soon? So soon And now I'm burnt to hell Can't forget the way you smell Can't remember how far I fell into your arms at night Started habits that I can't stop for my life And now I'm leaning on you Purple afternoon The sun goes down way too soon When I'm thinking of you And now I can't find a way to hide 'Cause what I'm hiding from's inside And now I'm drinking, smoking Popping, thinking, repeating like the seasons And now I'm leaning on you Purple afternoon The sun goes down way too soon When I'm thinking of you And now I'm leaning on you Purple afternoon Why'd you have to leave so soon? So soon
